ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
ON 9/8/2001 I HAD THE 30,000 MILE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON MY 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY. ON JULY 7,2002, THE WATER PUMP FAILED AND DAMAGED THE TIMING BELT. I HAD TO REPLACE THE WATER PUMP, TIMING(CAMSHAFT BELT) , SEVERAL ADDITIONAL BELTS, IDLER , TENSIONER AND ANTI-FREEZE. LABOR AND PARTS TOTALED $710.44. THIS IS THE 5TH OCCURANCE OF A WATER PUMP FAILING ON A 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH UNDER 45,000 MILES THAT WAS REPORTED ON THIS WEB SITE ALONE. THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY COVERS THE WATER PUMP FOR 60 MONTHS OR 60,000 MILES. I HAVE SENT A CERTIFIED LETTER TO TOYOTA , WHICH THEY HAVE RECEIVED BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THEM. THE WATER PUMP SHOULD LAST MORE THAT 45,000 MILE AND WITH THE NUMBER OF FAILURES THAT HAVE OCCURED, THERE IS A TREND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART.*AKI

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
ADDITIONAL INFO TO ODI NUMBER 765034 - SHOP MENTIONED THAT THE WATER PUMP DAMAGED CAUSED SCRAPPING ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. SINCE THE ENGINE BLOCK IS MADE OF AN ALUMINUM BASE HIS CONCERN WAS THAT THE MARKS MIGHT CAUSE A CRACK TO OCCUR. HE SAID NO LEAKING WAS SEEN AT THIS TIME BUT I WANT TO PUT ON RECORD THAT DAMAGE WAS MADE TO THE ENGINE THAT MIGHT CAUSE PROBLEMS IN THE FURTURE. THIS SCRAPING WAS DUE TO THE WATER PUMP FAILURE THAT WAS NOTED IN THE ODI NUMBER 765034 QUESTIONNAIRE. THIS INFO WAS ALSO MENTIONED TO TOYOTA IN A CERTIFIED LETTER BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE YET FROM TOYOTA.

SUSPENSION:REAR
PROBLEMS WITH REAR SUSPENSION BOTTOMING OUT GOING OVER DIPS, BUMPS, ETC. HAVE BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED OVER TIME. ANYTIME YOU HAVE ANY PASSENGERS, EVEN ONE SMALL CHILD, IN REAR SEAT, THE CAR BOTTOMS OUT AND SCRAPES THE STREET SURFACE. EVEN BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS SLIGHTLY ELEVATED, CAUSES THE REAR TO BOTTOM OUT AND SCRAPE THE DRIVEWAY. WHEN DRIVING AT THE SPEED LIMIT, IT WILL BOTTOM OUT ON SLIGHTLY ROUGH ROAD. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT THEY HAVE ADVISED US THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE SUSPENSION BUT INSIST THAT TOYOTA BUILT THE CAR WITH A SOFT SUSPENSION FOR A SOFT RIDE. THE RESULT IS A CAR THAT BOTTOMS OUT CONTINOUSLY IF YOU HAVE ANY PASSENGERS IN THE REAR OF THE COMPARTMENT OR A LOAD IN THE TRUNK.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
TEAM TOYOTA WAS VERY UNRESPONSIVE; ALLEGED OWNER NEGLECT. OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY SLUNG A ROD, NO NOTICE NOTHING. THEY TOLD ME IS WAS SLUDGE ALTHOUGH IT DIDN'T TAKE THEM LONG TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION. THEY COULDN'T HAVE CHECKED VERY FAR BECAUSE THE MECHANIC THAT REPLACED THE MOTOT (NOT A TOYOTA MECHANIC) SAID THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO SLUDGE THERE. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA DISCUSSING OIL GELLING THIS MONTH (JULY 2002). MAYBE THEY'VE BEEN HAVING TOO MANY OWNER NEGLECT CASES WITH BLOWN MOTORS!*AK
